Tynan, I havent been to your site in ages though I used to be a frequent visitor, and its funny, I didnt expect to come back and find that your a Ron Paul fan but now that I think about it, his political philosophy of liberty and personal responsibility totally clicks with your philosophy on how to live life, everyone should check out this great documentary on the wasteful welfare/warfare state called John Stossel goes to Washington, it has Ron Paul in it briefly and its really good at explaining why govt is so inefficient when it goes beyond its basic responsibilities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEsUQBWFzK8 lastly, please excuse my poor punctuation, apostrophe and periods dont work since I spilled beer on my keyboard
